Unfortuantely, I don't have any picutres but it would help if we knew what exactly you are trying to catch (muskrat, mink, coon, etc.)

there is a pretty unique pocket set in the new fur fish & game that looks like it would be pretty interesting.

Not a true pocket set but has great eye appeal and works super. With a little snow on shave the bank of a small feeder where it enters into a larger stream or river and use rod to poke 3 or 4 holes in the vertical bank ,lure holes with differant smells ,one being castor based,set trap and catch fur.Good for beaver ,rats ,coon ,mink, doesnt hurt to throw a winter k-9 set on the bank for the curious ones .If made on north or west side the sun will melt the snow and the bare dirt shows up well.Fall water season i use northwoods #2 with music wire and spring beaver i switch out to a bigger trap, turn up the tension .

i dig a 6" hole in the bank as far as i can dig,it wants to be on a steeper side , bed the trap in water 3 " back from hole for coon , or in the hole for mink put a small bluegill or sunfish as far back as you can& try to pin it in the hole so its harder for them to get it,use a trailing scent of fish oil for helping them locate the fish , for the trap, #11, #2, stoploss trap & make shure it is staked or on a drown cable, you can also use a drag ,with some thing big as you dont want to loose the animal. i hope this helps, watch demos at the conventions as this helps to learn different sets.

Hello, Pocket set for mink, I want the hole no wider than the trap it can be dug narrow & High for water fluctuation. I want it as deep as possible and angled up. I pin my bait in the back and No grass wad, I want them to be able to see into the hole. Trap set tight to hole but not in the hole. Hope this helps, Good Luck. Ed
